flag A seal has been spotted in Melbourne’s Maribyrnong River, part of a recent rise in sightings near Port Phillip Bay, especially during summer. flag Wildlife experts attribute the increase to young Australian fur seals exploring inland rivers for food and lower competition, drawn by fish schools and clearer waters. flag While such visits are occasional and temporary, with past notable cases like "Salvatore," officials stress that rivers are not ideal habitats. flag Calls about seals in urban waterways occur roughly every two months, mainly in warmer months, and authorities urge the public to observe from a distance.
